could file claim with the trucking company. as far as fixing I have no idea. i used to work for UPS and most trucking companies try to get out of paying for whatever they can. get into contact with the dealer and see if they have pictures of the car before they shipped it. also, i would hope they bought some sort of insurance on the frieght due to the value of your car.

carbon fiber roof scratches
Get use to it...very hard to take care of....I am not a person with a great amount of knowledge on these issues but I think the Carbon Fiber is a very Porous material....I had 2 ZR1's and the scratches are still there...some have gone way but others have appeared.... I am not a Clean feak but do my best to keep the car Clean......Harvey

Go buy some polishing compound and you should be able to rub them right out with a damp rag and some polishing compound. I have some black cars and it happens and when it does I do exactly what I am telling you and when I am done you can't tell there was ever a scuff.

The carbon Fiber is painted with clear same as the rest of the car but the paint they use on the carbon has sun block in it and is real expensive. Buff it like you would any other paint. CF is damaged easily by the sun rays
